Olivia Trimble: Quilted in Paint
Olivia Trimble’s quilts aren’t made from fabric—they’re painted, blanketing buildings and public spaces in her native Fayetteville, as well as in other cities in Northwest Arkansas. A sign painter and muralist, Olivia, who founded Sleet City Creative, draws inspiration to paint large quilt murals from the warmth and comfort she felt as a child, wrapped in her great grandmother’s quilts. She hopes to evoke that same sense of warmth and connection for those who encounter her work.
